I came across another thread with a registry key to associate files on a Windows 7 Machine with 2012 Session Host. I've gotten this working with Word. However it doesn't work with Powerpoint or Excel and i'm not sure what i'm missing. I've went into the property for each app on the RDSH and allowed all command line parameters. As far as I can tell all three are setup identically but i'm getting three entirely different results.
When I double click an Excel icon it opens excel but then I get "Access Denied. Contact your Administrator". Powerpoint wont even load, "This RDP File has settings that cannot be overriden by command line. The remote connection cannot be started".
The registry key (with slight variaitons depending on program) i'm using is:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Microsoft.PPT]"AppUserModelId"="Microsoft.Windows.RemoteDesktop""EditFlags"=dword:00100000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Microsoft.PPT\DefaultIcon] @="C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\RemotePackages\\Powerpoint.ico,0" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Microsoft.PPT\shell] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Microsoft.PPT\shell\open] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Microsoft.PPT\shell\open\command] @="\"mstsc.exe\" /REMOTEFILE:\"%1\" \"C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\RemotePackages\\Powerpoint.rdp\"" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.pptx] @="Microsoft.PPT" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.pptx\Microsoft.PPT] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.pptx\Microsoft.PPT\ShellNew] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.ppt] @="Microsoft.PPT" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.ppt\Microsoft.PPT] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.ppt\Microsoft.PPT\ShellNew]
